The late Mr. Lund had an interesting connection with the Gulgong district. His grandfather, the late Mr. H. Dougerty has been given the credit of growing the first wheat between Reedy Creek and the Talbragar River—73 years ago.
Some years ago Mr. James Kennedy, in referring to the report in the "Mudgee Guardian" of Mrs. C. New's death said:
This brings me back to the very early days of Tallawang, about the middle sixties, when Mr. Hughie Dougherty (Mr. Lund's grandfather), with his wife and family, of which Mrs. Charlie New was the second youngest daughter, settled down in Tallawang; took up land under Sir John Robertson's Land Act and turned the first sod that laid the foundation for the present great wheat growing district. This family can claim the credit for growing the first wheat grown between Reedy Creek and the Talbragar Rive, somewhere about the year 1866. From Reedy Creek to where Dunedoo township is now was a virgin forest in those days. Not the mark of an axe could be found unless where the blackfellow cut his dinner out of a tree. There were no roads through Tallawang in those days. I remember coming to Tallawang with my family in the year 1867, and from where Spring Ridge is now we cut a road through timber and underscrub for about four miles out on to the head of Kennedy's Creek. We settled down there, about a mile from the Dougherty family, and became neighbors, and finer people than the same family would be hard to find. By this you may judge how sorry I felt when I read the report of Mrs. New's death, one of my old playmates. And playmates were very few in those days. There have been many children born in Tallawang since then, but it is pretty safe to say there was never a white child born there before the time I write about. Tallawang was a pretty wild and lonesome place 60 years back. There were wild cattle in plenty, wild horses and dingoes and thousands of kangaroos. I have seen a fat beast shot, a few pounds of steak cut off, and the balance left to rot.
As there were only two families growing wheat, we certainly did not grow very much; about five or six acres each, as you had to hand reap and hand thresh in those days, and Mudgee being the nearest town, it did not pay to grow wheat, and if it was a dry season the kangaroos generally got the most of the crop. However some few years after when the Gulgong goldfields broke out', things changed. We had a close market, more people settled in the Tallawang district and all wild stock soon disappeared.
